Dieser phänomenale Erfolg wäre mit einem Spiel, das nur für die Konsolen der nächsten Generation erscheint, anno 2013 keinesfalls möglich (und vermutlich auch 2014 noch nicht), da es auf absehbare Zeit schlicht und ergreifend nicht genügend Besitzer von Next-Gen-Konsolen geben wird...

Das Grand Theft Auto Spiel, das sich in der PS 2 Ära am besten verkaufte, war das letzte dieser Generation. Die Verkaufszahlen von Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas wurden vom 2008 für Xbox 360/PS3/PC erschienenen GTA IV erst 2011 übertroffen. Wir werden sehen, wann V IV in dieser Beziehung hinter sich lässt.
Natürlich wollen wir alle jetzt nur wissen, ob/wann die Versionen für PC und die Konsolen der nächsten Generation erscheinen. Sie müssen einfach kommen, nicht wahr?
